Sarkar added: “Our hotels are performing well, in terms of profits too, making this potentially our best year yet.”

Peerless Hotels CEO Kuldeep Bhartee stated that the hotels are currently experiencing a positive overall occupancy rate.

The company has five properties across locations, including Hyderabad, Kolkata, Port Blair, Durgapur and Mukutmanipur.

The hotel in Kolkata has an occupancy rate of 83%, Durgapur at 70%, and Hyderabad at 99%.

The resorts in Port Blair and Mukutmanipur have an occupancy rate of 50%-55%.

Peerless General Finance & Investment director Supriyo Sinha told The Telegraph: “Right now, we don’t have a plan to build a property from scratch. But we are open to acquiring a property or a chain of hotels — that one cannot predict the timing. If an opportunity comes up, we will definitely evaluate.”
